“Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.” (Faptele nu inceteaza sa existe doar pentru ca sunt ignorate.)
Aldous Huxley
"I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin." (Nu am nici un drept, prin ceea ce fac sau zic, sa injosesc o fiinta umana in proprii ei ochi. Ceea ce conteaza nu e ceea ce cred eu despre el; ci ceea ce el gandeste despre sine. Sa subminezi respectul de sine al unui om e un pacat.)
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral." (O gramada de pietre inceteaza sa mai fie o gramada de pietre in momentul in care un singur om o contempla, purtand in el imaginea unei catedrale.)
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
"Hope will never be silent." (Speranta nu va fi niciodata tacuta.)

Jesse Jackson
"Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them." (Fii atent la mediul pe care il alegi deoarece te va modela; fii atent la prietenii pe care ti alegi deoarece vei deveni ca ei.)
W. Clement Stone
"How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking." (Modul in care gandim e reflectat in modul in care actionam. Atitudinile sunt oglinzi ale mintii. Ele reflecteaza gandirea.)
David Joseph Schwartz
"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." (Conducerea e capacitatea de a transpune viziunea in realitate.)
Warren G. Bennis
"Indifference is the strongest force in the universe. It makes everything it touches meaningless. Love and hate don't stand a chance against it." (Indiferenta e cea mai puternica forta din univers. Ea face lipsit de sens orice atinge. Dragostea si ura nu au nici o sansa impotriva ei.)
Joan D. Vinge
"One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say." (Una dintre cele mai sincere forme de respect e ca sa asculti in fapt ceea ce un altul are de spus.)

"Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their true image." (Comportamentul e oglinda in care toata lumea isi arata adevarata imagine.)
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Ignorance is the greatest enemy of the soul. What will you believe if you don't know nothing? What will you love when you have seen nothing?" (Ignoranta este cel mai mare dusman al sufletului. Ce crezi cand nu stii nimic? Ce iubesti cand nu ai vazut nimic?)
Lacordaire

Dale Turner
"Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we truly are." (Adversitatile sunt ca un vant puternic. El ne va smulge totul mai putin lucrurile care nu pot fi smulse, astfel incat sa ne vedem pe noi insine asa cum suntem cu adevarat.)
Arthur Golden
"A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles." (O inima buna este o fantana a bucuriei, facand totul in vecinatatea ei sa se inprospateze in zambete.)
Washington Irving
“Our first teacher is our own heart.” (Primul nostru profesor e propria noastra inima.)
Proverb nativ american
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." (Exista o sacralitate in lacrimi. Ele nu sunt un semn de slabiciune, ci de putere. Ele vorbesc mai elocvent decat zece mii de limbi. Ele sunt mesagerii durerii coplesitoare, a caintei profunde si a dragostei de nedescris.)
Washington Irving

Washington Irving
"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind." (A scrie, cred eu, nu e despartit de a trai. A scrie e oarecum o viata traita de doua ori. Scriitorul experimenteaza totul de doua ori. Odata in realitate si odata in oglinda care asteapta in fata sau in spate.)
Catherine Drinker Bowen
"What comes easy won't last and what last won't come easy." (Ceea ce vine usor nu dureaza si ceea ce dureaza nu vine usor.)
